Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 854: Sha Zhu escapes from danger
The summer heat made it impossible to fall asleep. Several people drank until late at night, and the drinking party was not over until Sha Zhu passed out.

From time to time, the chirping of crickets could be heard in the grass. Wang Zhan moved the two bamboo beds under the grape vines in the yard and planted some mint and rosemary in the pots of the grape vines. Moreover, Wang Zhan also moved out the bamboo frame of the mosquito net. The three of them slept here at night. It was a kind of happiness to fall asleep looking at the stars.

In Wang Zhan's story, the two girls fell asleep sweetly, Sha Zhu was thrown into the room that Xiao Wu and the others used to live in, and Qi Dasheng and Director Li next door were still drinking and discussing what Wang Zhan said.

Early the next morning, Uncle Yu from Paoju Hutong was awakened by a knock on the door. Uncle Yu did not dare to delay after Wang Zhan left yesterday and went directly to his apprentice to explain the transaction.

The apprentice was also very helpful. He went to the location of the gang at night and kept an eye on them. As luck would have it, someone actually went to that house at night and paid them a visit. After another night of tracking, the apprentices came to Paoju Hutong and found Uncle Yu early in the morning. After listening to their report, Uncle Yu didn't think much about it and went straight to Wang Zhan.

There were two knocks on the door, and then a piece of paper was stuffed through the gap under the door. Wang Zhan was washing up at the sink at the time, and he watched helplessly as the door was knocked twice, and then a piece of paper was stretched out from the gap under the door.

Wang Zhan didn't open the door. He walked over slowly, picked up the note and started reading it.

Uncle Yu wrote in great detail that someone delivered money and tickets to his door last night, but the name of the person surprised Wang Zhan. It was Jia Zhang from Yard No. 95. How could that shrew do such a thing? Wang Zhan frowned.

After a while, everyone got up one after another. Wang Zhan gave the note to his master. Qi Dasheng and Director Liu were very surprised after reading it. They analyzed many people yesterday, but no one mentioned this woman. What does this person want?

Sha Zhu woke up in a daze when everyone had finished their meal. He Yushui had left breakfast for him. At this time, there were only four people left in the yard. Qi Dasheng and Director Li had left early. Director Li told Sha Zhu to stay in the yard honestly for a day while they went to do business.

Sha Zhu foolishly asked He Yushui what the two leaders were doing. He Yushui said unhappily, "What else could it be? It's all about you. You should thank them later. By the way, how did you offend Jia Zhang?"

Sha Zhu was stunned by the question, and then said: "I haven't offended her. I haven't talked to her recently. That old hag is full of shit when she talks, and I can't avoid her."

He Yushui stopped asking and served porridge to Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu reacted at this time and asked with wide eyes, "Sister, you are not saying that it was Jia Zhang who was behind the scenes, are you?"

He Yushui looked at his brother, nodded, and said, "Look, Master and Director Li went to arrest them to overturn your case."

Sha Zhu was full of gratitude to Deputy Director Qi and Director Li, and he stopped talking and ate his meal with his head down. He was actually skeptical about Wang Zhan's analysis yesterday, but when he heard that it was Jia Zhang who had been giving money to those people, he agreed with Wang Zhan's idea for the first time, because he knew Jia Zhang very well. Who was Jia Zhang? She was a well-known person in the yard who only took money but never spent it. It was absolutely impossible for her to pay money, unless she was instructed by someone, and she could benefit from it. There were only a handful of people in the yard who could instruct Jia Zhang, one was Jia Dongxu, the other was Yi Zhonghai, and Jia Zhang would ignore the others, including the old lady in the backyard.

Who was it? Sha Zhu thought about it while eating breakfast. He was so confused that he rejected the idea that it was Yi Zhonghai. In the end, he thought it was Jia Dongxu. But why? Was it because his wife came to his house more often? He didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Besides, he helped their family. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

In the morning, the people who identified Sha Zhu and Jia Zhang were taken to the detention room of the police station and interrogated separately. This was the first time for this group of people to do such a thing. In the afternoon, Chief Li pried open the mouth of the first person, and then things gradually became clear.

It turned out that these were indeed the people that Jia Zhang had found. These people were all from Zhangjia Village in Miyun, which was Jia Zhang's hometown. They were notoriously lazy and cunning in the village. Instigated by Jia Zhang, they left Miyun and headed straight for Sijiu City. Jia Zhang taught them everything. As for how Jia Zhang knew the ins and outs of the honey trap, the comrades in the police station really couldn't find out.

Otherwise, how can we say that Jia Zhang is smart? She knows that the more she talks, the heavier the crime. But judging from Director Li's reaction, Jia Zhang has her own ulterior motives. This woman wants to gain the greatest benefit for herself through this matter.

This idea fully proves that there are other people behind her, but Jia Zhang was really stubborn. After three days of interrogation, she refused to say a word.

On the fifth day, the deaf old lady from Yard 95 came forward. This old lady really had some connections. Director Ma from the branch called and said that he would make some concessions. This old lady had an old relationship with him, and not only that, she also had some favors with his underground group, so he fought for the opportunity to meet her alone.

Qi Dasheng was very unhappy, but Director Li was a rational man. He let him off this time and tried to comfort Qi Dasheng, who was still angry. This led to this private meeting.

It was said to be a one-on-one meeting, and in the end it was a one-on-one meeting between the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai, and finally with Jia Zhang. When Wang Zhan found out about it, several days had already passed, and the next day would be the day of the city's commendation meeting. It was impossible for Wang Zhan to be thinking about this matter.

The final result was that Jia Zhang took the blame for it all and was eventually sentenced to six months of forced labor. This was also due to Sha Zhu's contribution, because Sha Zhu, for some reason, wrote a letter of apology to Jia Zhang.

He Yushui was very disappointed with his brother and said that he would help his brother in the future, which was a promise made to Wang Zhan. On the other hand, he went to Sha Zhu's home to help clean up the house. Wang Zhan was speechless. He had a new understanding of Sha Zhu. He thought that Sha Zhu was a person who could not distinguish right from wrong. In the future, he should stay away from this person's affairs as much as possible, otherwise it would be a thankless task.

On July 20th, the Great Hall of Qing Dynasty was packed with leaders from the entire education system related to junior high schools. This was a grand event that needed to be promoted, but unfortunately a ruthless policy broke Wang Zhan's mood. The original teaching model of two years of junior high school and two years of high school was broken and changed to a 6-3-3 model. All of a sudden, Wang Zhan's original plans were ruthlessly destroyed.
